Good Heavens that is a haul. That's probably more $$ than all of my tools and vehicles put together. Since there are lots of vehicle tools there, I assume you're a mechanic?
It's been a while since I posted here, so I got a big photo dump for you guys....if you are prone to impulse buying...skip ahead before you become a casualty. :LOL:



Some PB Swiss from their recent 25% off sale...

PB Swiss SAE hex bit sets. Rebuilt some industrial pneumatic tools that required sae hex bits, and realized I was pretty weak in that department.

i-dpcjVWv-L.jpg

Torx plus bits

i-sZvtGWr-L.jpg

Ratcheting driver. My second one - the swissgrips are my absolute favorites.

i-FCXMFNW-L.jpg

T30 bit socket - wanted to buy one to see how I'd like em. Fit screws better than the Snappys for sure.

i-XmJFXFx-L.jpg


Tribus' 7/8 02 sensor socket wrench. This thing is HEFTY, and 100% US made. Pretty good promo during SEMA.

i-rRvLzLw-L.jpg

i-7pW2K2D-L.jpg

i-CRSk7wp-L.jpg



Wera Tool Check Plus in SAE for the "around the house" bag. Very neat kit. Will likely pick up the metric set for the garage - this one was purchased from zoro with a 20% coupon

i-gWtMkpf-L.jpg

More Kobras..12" and 7.25".

i-wr7zSfQ-L.jpg


The new SO 1/4" drive indexing head ratchet. Couldn't resist...

i-B3CSC3g-L.jpg


Lisle (Super Scraper) Carbide Scraper. Made in Usa!

i-QcmgK85-L.jpg



Some odds and ends. Wrench is to expand on sizes not included in the deep offset set.

i-CCZhDgF-L.jpg

SO deep swiveling 10mm

i-7VKdMVS-L.jpg

SO magnetic deep 13mm in 1/4 drive...this was on order for like 3 months.

i-hbZGSgX-L.jpg

SO's smallest talon grip pliers.

i-BHnzVHj-L.jpg

Size comparison to the 97ACF's:

i-KgnGtC7-L.jpg

SO cotter pin pick. This has become one of my go to's for poking and prodin' stuff. Really beefy tip!

i-wDxfDmk-L.jpg


Vanilla, incandescent test light.

i-ZKCf49P-L.jpg


This my second one of these ratchets...planning on converting one to 3/8" drive.

i-gBgnZqg-L.jpg


Been fondling this light for a while now when I get on the truck, and finally picked it up on promo. Has a UV setting and impressive battery life. (4hr high, 20hr low)

i-XrXdVV3-L.jpg


Slightly used 12Pc SAE flank drive plus set for $220. Couldn't pass it up.

i-9gzgKMk-L.jpg

I have a SO hard handle pick fetish....it's just money, right?

i-Xqhtfwr-L.jpg

For whatever reason, my dealer wasn't sent any sets, just individuals of the pink handles.

i-gDVg8vr-L.jpg


Needed a magnetic hook, and my dealer had one that someone had ordered but flaked. I didn't need this beast of a magnet, but my dealer wanted it off the truck and priced it as such...I'm pretty sure I could do pull ups off this thing.

i-nJ7k2xP-L.jpg


In the adjustable wrench thread, the Daimond Caulk Horseshoe wrench got some praise, so I figured I'd snag this from ebay for ~25.

i-hz7tZbM-L.jpg


Knipex 85 degree head flush cuts. I think these might be my new favorite flush cuts. The ergonomics are excellent in additional to all the things we know and love about knipex quality.

i-gh98VLf-L.jpg

i-9DPS7Bb-L.jpg


Mitutoyo 0-6" coolant proof digital calipers. I've tried out/used every caliper from every major manufacturer there is, and the mittys just feel like home to me. Picked up from Zoro during a 20% coupon.

i-mK3tPt2-L.jpg


This was a gift from one of my tool dealers. Will be my first wera advent calender. 🙂

i-h3HFqXD-L.jpg


Some Armstrong wrenches from Cripe. Awesome little wrenches.

i-B3Fjgcr-L.jpg


Koken 1/4" drive extensions. Currently my favorite extensions...

i-hRt8Fp6-L.jpg

i-WWX5XS5-L.jpg


I have waited a while for this, but so glad to finally have it. Nepros 3/8 IP gold ratchet. My first Nepros ratchet and the 90 tooth mechanism is excellent - much smoother than Mac or Matco's high tooth ratchets. Fit and finish is spectacular, what might look like little scratches in the finish is actually lint from the microfiber I wiped it with!

Any reason your picture album is not anymore publicly accessible? Really enjoyed scrolling through your pictures from time to time...

I host a bunch of other albums on my smugmug (like family outings) and noticed they were getting an abnormal amount of views. The default setting for smugmug is everything is public, so I switched my account to private.

Well thats unfortunate but totally understandable. Did not even notice the other albums :D

I actually did that a few times but its very inconvenient. Any chance you can make 1 album publicly availabe? ;)

Got a few new things the last few days. Hackzall on the promo of buy the two 5.0 battery kit get a "free" tool and then the pry bars and adjustables. Will likely have my Mayhew pry bars listed in the classifieds shortly.E7E17AF4-AB4A-4ADE-904E-7087394F3E96.jpeg3F831C27-1D44-4F03-8AF3-2CFB05E0FE4F.jpegF248AE71-A0FE-409A-AFD7-546645BB977C.jpeg
I’ve not handled one yet, but those Snap-On prybars do look exceptionally comfortable … very nice haul!

You will love that Snap-on cotter pin tool. I have a couple of older ones with the old style handles and use the hell out of them, but seldom on actual cotter pins. :bounce:

Got the BP 3/4" from a member here. Planning to clean it up and rebuild it.

The MG725A was a steal off ebay (imo) in near new condition. It's going to my nephew along with a mg325 ebay special.

Snap-on day, a few more things from my order came in. First is a Torch 300 that was on promo in this months flyer:
E812C087-CEB1-480A-944D-B24D8EFB0EF7.jpeg

The “hammerhead” wire strippers, PWCH7:

F29FDEE9-4F7D-4FDE-96A7-F1BFD682F100.jpeg

My free Milwaukee promo items came in, I chose the full brim hard hat and the impact nitrile dipped gloves:
1B07701A-8527-4644-BCC3-7450B3A63316.jpeg

I wanted something a little bigger than the pancake compressor I had, but something still compact, so I decided on this Makita MAC5200. I haven’t been excited to use air tools in a while haha:

Really considering swapping the HF Fortress i just got for one of those. How loud is it?

Edit: Screw it, I guess I'm taking the Fortress back tomorrow.

I broke it in tonight - I’d say it’s just a bit quieter than the oil-free Porter Cable pancake it’s replacing. You won’t hear me complaining (dad joke alert!) about almost triple the CFM at not much more of a footprint in the garage… So far I really like it.

Expensive week. But all were put to use the last couple days starting with the new pin nailer as it worked great for installing some thin trim in my basement remodel at the rental. I also just tried out the Veritas honing guide and Scary Sharp Sharpening kit on an old wood chisel and quickly put a razor sharp edge on it with a perfect bevel.
